Bead words: d'naglie

December 15, 2009

Rings & Things makes a unique contribution to the bead world. This time, it’s a newly invented word. We hope you’ll find plenty of use for “d’naglie“.

Example of a d'naglie

Example of a d’naglie

d’naglie (noun), alt. spelling d’nagly plural d’naglies : a pendant or bead that has an unusually animated personality, especially a free-hanging clip-on charm, often one that is somewhat goofy-looking. Example: “I made this charm bracelet in 3 minutes with the new rubber ducky d’naglies from Rings & Things.” Etymology: thought to come from a deliberate mangling of “dangly” 🙂

Got another bead word that’s just begging to be defined? Let me know!

    I’m waiting for this to catch fire and the world to be asking for D’nagly Charms by name!
